Dontcha just LOVE the clay bar action? Kinda stretches the cleaning into a whole day, but man is it worth it.
Those pics are great, the car looks very very nice.

Rep Power: 343 I have a claybar and never used it because I don't know how. I tried applying it to a spot on my car and I was like wtf is this doing?! It's all hard and stiff and doesn't look like it picks up anything, especially not after applying the spray to your car.
I'm a nub I know.
It looked more like it was getting things dirtier to me. I have no idea.

Do u use a 2 inch square surface area of clay, or do you stretch it out over the palm of your hand?

Very nice work phuviano
Makes me want to go out and redo my lacklustre noob job without clay. 
And for those that need some pointers like me .. I've started reading through some of the information in the Detailing section of this board, as well as the information on Autopia.
Again, very nice pictures and work .. I can only wish I get my car to look that good up close.
